Title: Method and system for determining a recovery score for a subject
Inventor: DAVID ROBERTAUD
IPC: G16H50/30
Filed: 2020-10-19
Abstract: A method and system which obtains a pair of subject heartrate values S101, where a first of the values represent the heart rate of the subject in a resting position (HR rest) and a second of the values represent the heart rate of the subject in a standing position (HR stand). A difference between HR stand and HR rest is established. A non-zero constant representing a desired value of the difference between the standing heart rates and resting heart rates is established. A probability density function S102 uses HR stand and HR rest difference and the non-zero constant to generate a recovery score S103. The function may use a non-zero scaling constant that defines a curve width of a distribution generated by the probability function. The non-zero scaling constant may be proportional to the non-zero constant. The non-zero scaling constant may be determined according to a maximum expected difference between standing and resting heart rates for the subject and the minimum expected difference between the standing and resting heart rates for the subject. Heart rate values may be obtained from heartbeat data samples comprising inter-beat interval values.
